Orgasm or Deep Throat?

Friend has asked for this for a present but she can't get to try. I've used both but actually gave away as they were too bright for me.

She' s very pale and had been using Sex Appeal but thinks it's too pale.

I know Hannah Martin loves Deep Throat for all skin tones (in her John Lewis Xmas box) but not sure.

I am pale (NARS Monte Blanche Sheer Glow Foundation) and I use Deep Throat over Orgasm, as it is more subtle for daytime use (less shimmer). Very pretty colour.

Thanks!

Friend has reddish hair so not sure if Deep Throat is too pinky?

Deep Throat is such a disgusting name for a blusher, I can't believe NARS has kept it!

DesignerDesigner · 05/10/2020 08:44

Grin Most of their names are pretty weird.

I thought this was going to be a troll thread.Confused

I only clicked to report it too Errol
They are determined to shoehorn shit like deep throat in to everyday use.

Sorry to blunder through S&B.

Deep throat is such a grim name for a cosmetic.
I'm no prude, orgasm fair enough!

Emmapeeler2 · 05/10/2020 09:04

I can't believe a cosmetic product is called deep throat. It brings to mind that Mad Men episode, where the male ad execs are ogling the secretaries trying on lipsticks behind a screen.

TheQueef · 05/10/2020 09:06

Just call it choking on cock pink or forced suffocation peach let's not be coy Hmm

userxx · 05/10/2020 09:12

Eh?

Craftycorvid · 05/10/2020 09:15

Ah yes NARS! Odd names, to be sure. I swear by an Orgasm myself. Grin

redroses86 · 05/10/2020 09:15

I’m blonde, fair skinned and use Deep Throat. It’s a much nicer colour than orgasm and not as shimmery. (I use it for the colour and pigment rather than the name, but wholeheartedly agree. In a similar vein I can never believe that Charlotte Tilbury named her lipstick Walk of Shame originally. I know it’s changed now. Maybe Nars need to rethink theirs too).

Oldraver · 05/10/2020 09:16

I was a little WTF is this doing in S+B

Hoppinggreen · 05/10/2020 09:16

I clicked on thinking that Boden had really changed how they name their coats these days

I can't believe people encourage them by buying it!
Elllllle · 05/10/2020 09:18

okkkaaayyyyy...

I'm fair/neutral (blonde) and much prefer Clinique blushing blush in innocent peach. Because I'm innocent Grin

Ruex · 05/10/2020 09:22

I thought this was going to be a completely different thread and was wondering why it was on s&b. That is a horrible name for a blusher.

Deadringer · 05/10/2020 09:24

I like an orgasm as much as the next woman, but they are horrendous names and i wouldn't buy those items on principle.

KittCat · 05/10/2020 09:25

Well, you learn something new everyday 😂

Titsinknicks · 05/10/2020 11:02

Cosmetics with sex names sell so much better than others that don't have them! Weird huh

SausageRoll2020 · 05/10/2020 11:17

I've used both these blushers and prefer Orgasm for every day use as it's more subtle.
I've got red hair and am fair skinned but not exceptionally pale.

I'd say if she wants the blusher to look like blusher go for Deep Throat, if she wants a bit of natural looking colour then Orgasm.

MadamShazam · 05/10/2020 11:17

I use Deep Throat. I'm pale with red/brown hair and much prefer it to Orgasm.

TheQueef · 05/10/2020 11:35

What are the cool toned shades called? Erotic asphyxiation and Deathly ashen Confused

AriettyHomily · 05/10/2020 11:57

I'm amazed they still use these names and I am so not a prude or quick to jump on a bandwagon.
